Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 264

Xiao Wenqing felt a little embarrassed at once, and said, "Wenhua, when you return to the capital, I will make you a suit too." She returned to her hometown in May last year to meet her mother and younger brothers, and then started embroidering her own wedding dress. She didn't have the time I make clothes for my mother and younger brothers, and after I get married, only my younger brother is around, so I only remember to make clothes for my younger brother and my mother, and forget about my elder brother and second brother.

Xiao Wenhua didn't mean anything else when he spoke. Seeing that the elder sister thought he was complaining that she didn't remember her adopted brother, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, elder sister. Elder sister is pregnant. If you have time, let's make more clothes for brother-in-law and the baby. I'll go back to In my hometown, my mother will definitely prepare a lot of clothes for me." After he gets married, he will have a wife who will sew clothes for him.

"Yes, my mother is worried about my son traveling thousands of miles, and my mother must be missing you two." Xiao Wenqing nodded with a smile.

Twirling the thin paper in her hand, Xiao Wenqing looked at Lu'e, and resolutely said: "Lv'e misses her family and relatives in her hometown. I can't bear to see her separated, so I decided to send her back to Xiao's village. Wen Hua, this is Lu'e's contract of prostitution." , you help me take it back to my mother." If a man wants to change his mind, eight horses will not be able to hold him back.She is different from Mrs. He who she used to serve, she would never give her maid to her husband just to please her husband.Lu'e is fascinated by Yuxuan's beauty and wealth, even if Yu Xuan has no interest in Lu'e, Lu'e may still be waiting for the opportunity, she always has a grudge in her heart if she keeps Lu'e by her side.

"Miss?" Lue's face suddenly changed, and she looked at the thin paper in Xiao Wenqing's hand in disbelief, "Miss, although this servant misses his relatives, he is loyal to you and has no second thoughts. Madam gave the slave to Miss, and the servant then Life and death are Miss's people, please don't drive the slaves back." As she said, she rushed over and knelt down.

Xiao Wenhua was very astonished, looked at Xiao Wenqing and said, "Sister, Lue is your dowry maid, you can punish her if she does something wrong, if you send her back, she might not be able to hold her head high in the Xiao family." Did Lue do something to make the elder sister angry?

Xiao Wenqing turned around and walked to Luohan's bed and sat down, handed Lu'e's contract of sale and the green silk purse to Crystal, and said, "Lv'e, I have already written on this contract of sale, changing it to a contract of employment, worth 30 taels , and pressed your fingerprints. After you return to Xiao’s house, you can save yourself enough silver taels to redeem yourself and marry an honest and honest man. Lue, you and I are master and servant. There are ten taels of silver in this purse, and two pieces of gold wrapped in silver. The flower hairpin, a pair of pearl earrings, and two gold and silver skein bracelets are my dowry to you, so please accept them and plan your life carefully in the future."

She lost her appearance two years ago, and the matchmaker set her a selling price of 36 taels. Now Lue is innocent and looks intact, and the price is 30 taels, which is very cheap, and she rewarded their three big maids a lot during the Chinese New Year. Silver taels, if Lu'e hadn't squandered silver taels, she should have accumulated more than two dozen taels of silver on hand, and Lu'e might be able to redeem herself for herself now.

"Miss, don't go back, slave, I will serve you and uncle more wholeheartedly in the future, please don't drive slave away." Kneeling and walking in front of Xiao Wenqing, Lue raised her face and cried, "If people in Xiaojia Village know that Miss doesn't Slave, servant will have no face in this life. It's better to die now."

People who are used to being servants do not necessarily aspire to become commoners.To be a big servant girl to serve a tolerant and kind master, the wind does not blow and the rain does not prevent, three meals a day can be eaten without worry, and there are many clothes in four seasons. Now she still has one tael of silver per month. People serve their parents-in-law and work hard for their lives.

Crystal knew the reason why Lue was sent back to her natal family by his wife, so she didn't dare to say more.On her first day as a servant girl, a senior who led her said that a servant must be loyal and never miss anything about her master.If the master rewards you and you can use them, it is a flattery; if the master doesn't reward you or don't use them, then just keep your head down and do things quietly, don't always think about what you have.Master Ling is too handsome and dignified, and the dowry maid Lu E is attracted to him, which just makes her young lady angry.

"Sister, do you have to send Lu'e back?" Xiao Wenhua couldn't help but said, "Lv'e doesn't want to go back, so you can stay with you and continue to use it. Lu'e is a family-born child, and will be yours for the rest of your life." The prosperity of the capital is by no means comparable to that of the Xiao Family Village in Xiling, and the wealth of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not comparable to that of the Xiao Family.Water flows to low places and people go to high places.The maids next to the Fourth Young Madam of the Prime Minister's Mansion are said to have a higher status than the maids of the Xiao family. In the future, if they want to redeem themselves and find someone else, it will be easier than ordinary women.Because such a maid has seen the life etiquette of the top noble families in the capital, and her conversation and behavior are better than those of the village girls who have no experience.

Xiao Wenqing reached out to stop Xiao Wenhua from interceding, and said softly to Lue: "Lue, did I say that I don't want you? I just said that you miss your relatives in your hometown and can't bear to separate your flesh and blood, so I sent you back to be with your parents, brothers and sisters. I will change the life-long death contract of your family's child into a labor contract. As long as you have silver, you can redeem yourself from the lowly status, marry in an upright manner, and the children you will have in the future will not be the children of the family who are destined to serve others. This is my respect. How could you be ungrateful for the reward that you have come to Beijing with me? Hurry up, weeping like this, people who don't know will think that I am punishing the servant girl."

Xiao Wenqing is afraid of death, she will choose to commit suicide after complete despair, but she will not say it in front of others, let alone force others to compromise.Others don't care about you at all, can you force others to compromise with death?For wealthy families, it is to force one or two maids to death, as long as money and power can be used to stop the mouths of insiders, the maids' lives are like ants!
